"Rare earths"!

These are the two words that Li Jiatao wrote to Su Erdie, two words that are enough to surprise Su Erdie!

The word earth is a name left over from history. Rare earth elements have been discovered since the late 18th century, when solid oxides that are insoluble in water were often referred to as soil. Rare earths are generally separated in the oxide state, and they are very rare, so they are named rare earths.

It is said that it is a major user of rare earths, which are the key materials for many major weapons systems, and the United States almost always needs to import them from China, of course, to some extent, as strategic reserves.

Regarding the important surname of rare earths, the first leader once said a sentence that is deafening enough: "There is oil in the Middle East, and we have rare earths!" ”

Rare earth has the industrial "gold", because it has excellent optical and electromagnetic and other physical characteristics, can be combined with other materials with different surnames, a wide variety of new materials, its most significant function is to greatly improve the quality of other products. For example, the tactical ability of steel, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, and titanium alloy used to make tanks, aircraft, and missiles has been greatly improved. Moreover, rare earths are also lubricants for electronics, lasers, nuclear industry, superconductivity and many other high-tech lubricants. Once rare earth technology is used in the military, it will inevitably bring about a leap in military science and technology. In a certain sense, the US military's overwhelming control in several local wars after the Cold War, as well as its ability to openly kill the enemy with impunity, are due to the superhuman superiority in the field of rare earth technology.

Of course, rare earths are much more important than that. Whether it is in the military, metallurgy, petroleum, ceramics, or the research and development and use of new materials, it has a transcendent position and a wide range of uses.

It's just that for a pure soldier like Su Erdie, the most important thing is the irreplaceable role of rare earths in military materials!

Li Jiatao has also been thinking about this problem, especially at night, and he always wonders why Su Erdie is so interested in a so-called closed training base on the heavenly horse. Tianma is not only the junction of Xiaolei County and Xijiang County, but also the junction of Yandu City and Changtan City. Turning over from the heavenly horse, it belongs to the Changtan realm! Because of this, Tianma Mountain is a very important military artery.

During the period of the Republic of China and the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Tianma Mountain was one of the very important passages for military supplies between Yandu City and Changtan City.

After the liberation, as a military emergency passage, this military base in Tianma Mountain was always guarded by two soldiers with loaded guns, and even prepared to set up a radar station.

However, in Li Jiatao's view, the purpose of Su Erdetuo's own procurement of tens of thousands of tons of materials to build a special detachment training base cannot be so simple.

What is Sur Butterfly? She is the elite of the domestic special elite, and she is also the pioneer of the development of special forces.

Li Jiatao always felt that although Tianma had a certain military strategic position, it was far from the need for someone like Su Erdie to personally take command, let alone make such a big move to build a closed training base.

Li Jiatao has followed his grandfather to conduct some individual soldier quality training on Tianma Mountain since he was a child, and he is also quite familiar with Tianma! After thinking about it for many nights, Li Jiatao finally thought of "rare earth"!

In later generations, the rare earth resources of Tianma Mountain do not seem to have been developed, but Li Jiatao knows that there are rare earths in Tianma Mountain. As for how he learned this information, Li Jiatao really doesn't remember.

But why has the trajectory of history changed? This is what Li Jiatao couldn't figure out, which made him want to hurt his head.

Li Jiatao has been thinking about the deviations in the historical trajectory of Xijiang County and Xiaolei County since his rebirth. In the end, Li Jiatao came to a conclusion that the problem should be that he was brought to the Yandu City Public Security Bureau by someone from the Provincial Public Security Department two years ago because he stood up for Yin Xueping, and then his grandfather Li Hongjun came forward and smashed the field of the Yandu City Public Security Bureau.

Because in later generations, grandfather Li Hongjun never went out of Yandu for half a step until he died of old age on Tianma Mountain. But at that time, after Li Hongjun personally took action for Li Jiatao's matter, he was forcibly "invited" to the capital by Ye Zhiwei's eldest brother Ye Feng, and met with the No. 3 head of the Central Committee.

"It must be that grandpa inadvertently mentioned the topic of rare earths when he was chatting with the third chief." Li Jiatao finally came to such a conclusion.

So, Li Jiatao also guessed tentatively, but he didn't expect to guess correctly.

Although the information comes from Li Jiatao's grandfather Li Hongjun, Li Hongjun only occasionally mentioned a charcoal-burning soil problem with the No. 3 chief, and the No. 3 chief sensitively discovered the problem. But in fact, Li Hongjun has never heard of the word rare earth, let alone knows the important surname of rare earth.

However, how did Li Jiatao know?

Su Erdie is also very confused about this problem!

"Who told you?" Su Erdie said coldly, "You have to be honest with me, otherwise the consequences will be serious." ”

"I guessed." Li Jiatao naturally knew how powerful it was, and hurriedly said, "Really, no one else knows." ”

Su Erdie looked at Li Jiatao again for a while before nodding: "I believe you." ”

After speaking, Su Erdie actually felt that her face seemed to be a little hot, and she didn't know if she was blushing, so she was a little panicked, and immediately turned around and walked towards the warehouse.

The seminar was organized by the Municipal Economic and Trade Commission, and many scholars from Beijing, Chunan Province, Shanghai, and even economically developed coastal cities were invited to attend.

Because Li Jiatao is too young, he is very eye-catching among these well-known scholars. Many of these scholars are gray-haired, and even the youngest ones are middle-aged people over forty years old.

"I thought that this political axe would pragmatically respect the opinions of the academic community, but I didn't expect to make such an irresponsible list." A professor in his fifties glanced at Li Jiatao and said in an old-fashioned manner.

Li Jiatao couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't want to come to this city seminar, if it weren't for Liu Deming, secretary of the Liusha Municipal Party Committee, who insisted on pulling himself in, he would still have a lot of things to do.

"Seniors, I was invited this time because the conference team lacked experience in holding a national expert seminar, and I was an errand runner in the county party committee and was familiar with the meeting process, so I received the invitation letter." Li Jiatao said so modestly.

After Li Jiatao's explanation, several scholars who used to blow their beards and stare at their eyes seemed to see Li Jiatao a lot.

The meeting was held quite smoothly, and Liu Deming, secretary of the Liusha City CPC Committee, also took time out to attend the seminar, saying that he was listening to the opinions of the experts.

However, throughout the meeting, Liu Deming's eyes looked at Li Jiatao from time to time.

Li Jiatao was originally sitting in the last row against the wall, and basically had no qualifications to speak. Of course, Li Jiatao also knows in his heart why Liu Deming frequently looks at his side.

Li Jiatao pondered that Liu Deming was not very interested in these so-called experts.

An expert in Beijing who participated in the initial preparations for the construction of Pudong said: "The development of the city must seize the opportunity, for example, the development of Pudong, which has been significantly slower than that of the southern coastal areas in recent years. At the beginning of this year, after the No. 1 leader's southern tour, the state asked Pudong what kind of preferential policies it needed, and after studying it, we decided that there was only one preferential treatment, and that was the policy priority system. The so-called policy priority means that Pudong can be the first to implement all the country's reform pilot projects. This has played a decisive role in the current rapid development of Pudong. Although Liusha City cannot be compared with Pudong, such an idea can still be put forward in Chunan Province, that is, to build Liusha City into Pudong in Central China. ”

Of course, Li Jiatao knows that what Liu Deming has always wanted is such a policy, not to mention that all pilot projects are the first to be implemented, even if one out of ten projects can be grabbed, it is already very good!

But the problem is that the provincial capital of Chubei Province has already proposed to build the southern district, which is separated by a river from the city center, into Pudong in Central China! In contrast, the southern district of Chubei Province has a much greater advantage than Liusha City.

Although Liu Deming's expression didn't seem to have changed, Li Jiatao knew that Liu Deming must feel that the opinions of the so-called experts were either too high-minded or far from the reality of Liusha City.

Sure enough, after the experts in Beijing spoke, Liu Deming made a speech in advance, thanking the experts for taking the time to take the pulse of Liusha City, and briefly introduced some of the actual situations and difficult problems in Liusha City, and then Liu Deming left in a hurry because he had a meeting to attend.

At noon, Liu Deming deliberately called Li Jiatao over again, hoping that he could refute those so-called experts, bring up the flavor of the discussion, and not make it look like experts are giving their own academic reports, and strive to combine more with the reality of Liusha City, and it is best to collide with some sparks and provide some useful ideas.

Li Jiatao smiled bitterly in his heart, this is a thankless thing to let himself be a death squad, but offend some of these so-called experts.

But Li Jiatao has no choice, isn't the purpose of Liu Deming letting himself participate in this seminar just for this?

Obviously, Liu Deming also assigned this meaning to the comrades of the Economic and Trade Commission at the same time. Later, the organizers tried to pull the direction of the conference in the direction of the discussion.

But these experts and scholars have actually experienced many such occasions and have already had countermeasures. In particular, the local professors in Chunan Province especially like to read from the script, and always come out with a few sentences and return to the speech they have prepared.

The organizers tried several times, but they were helpless, and there was no way to turn the situation around.

Li Jiatao sighed in his heart, thinking that if he didn't speak again, today's seminar would only go through the motions and have no practical significance.
